Our residents at Friary care enjoyed a wonderful Teddy Bears' Picnic alongside their families and children, creating a fun filled afternoon for everyone involved.
Everyone was invited to bring along their favourite teddy bears, which added to the excitement.

We were delighted to welcome Smartie Pants the Clown, who entertained everyone with a magic show, followed by a game of pass the parcel and a mini disco. There was lots of singing, dancing, laughter, and smiles from both the children and our residents.

It was great to see the residents, families, and children spending quality time together, making new memories and sharing joy. The event was a great success, and everyone had a wonderful time.

Today our residents went for a 'tour' round London!

Today we've been up to so much fun! To start with the residents and staff had a superbly fantastic time decorating the home with a glorious London theme!

We then enjoyed a magnificent 'trip' round London by sipping delicious cocktails and listening to the absolutely fantastic Georgy Broad! Georgy sang some truly phenomenal belters from throughout the decades and we all couldn't help but get down and boogey to such catchy numbers and to such an amazing musical talent!

We then 'took a doubledecker bus down to Chinatown' and enjoyed a succulent Chinese meal together with friends - and we finished it all off by watching England play World Cup football! ENGLAND! ENGLAND!

All in all we've had such a fun-packed day, having a whale of a 'Thames', where we've 'Lon-done' it all!

Friary Care is all set for Gentlemen's Day (also known as Father's Day)!

Instead of just fathers we want to celebrate all the amazing men in our lives. So to all the Fathers, Grandfathers, Grandads, Grandpas, Step Dads, Brothers, Uncles, Sons, or just really good friends - Happy Gentlemen's Day!

We will be celebrating today in a few different ways. We've decorated the home, we have family and friends visiting residents, we have tables at the ready for a lovely roast dinner, a beer or two chilling in the fridge for those who want them, and to top it off there's plenty of football to watch!

It's also Armed Forces Weekend so residents have enjoyed a showcase of historic military vehicles by the Dorset Military Vehicle Association. This involved a lovely walk along Weymouth Promenade and listening to some absolutely fantastic live music from the Decadettes, the South Wales Police Band, the Weymouth Community Choir, and more besides.

From everyone here at Friary Care, we'd like to wish all of our gentlemen, and their families, a very happy Gentlemen's Day!

D-Day remembrance at Friary Care.

This weekend we paused to reflect. On this anniversary of the D-Day landings, everyone at Friary Care joined the nation in honouring the profound bravery, service, and sacrifice of the Allied forces. We held a special place in our hearts for the generation who lived through these monumental events, including many of our own residents.

Living in Weymouth, we were reminded of the vital role our beautiful coastal town played in changing the course of history. Weymouth and Portland harbours served as critical embarkation points for thousands of troops and vehicles. Many of these brave soldiers marched past our seafront buildings and boarded landing craft right here, destined for the fierce fighting at Omaha Beach. Also, Weymouth's local hospitals stood ready, providing vital medical care to casualties evacuated from the Normandy coast.

When we look out across the Esplanade, we remember that for thousands of young men Weymouth was their very last view of home before setting off into battle. We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to those who gave everything for our freedom, and to the extraordinary wartime generation we are so privileged to care for every day.

“When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.”

Today we took the residents to a Fit club at Willowbed hall, where they joined in with different exercises and activities. Everyone enjoyed getting out, keeping active, and having a laugh together.

After the class, we went for an ice cream at Rossi's as a little treat. The residents really enjoyed it and it was nice to see everyone relaxed and chatting. Overall, it was a lovely afternoon.

At friarycare we celebrated National Bee Day with honey testing, the residents tried lots of flavours like peppermint, cranberry, blackcurrant and many more, it's safe to say traditional honey was preferred.
We spent time talking about the importance of bees and how they help flowers and plants grow.
We then put some bee houses out in our garden right by our flowers, followed by a bee quiz and lots of jokes.
It was safe to say it was a buzzing day!

Mental health awareness week at friarycare

As part of Mental Health Week, we hosted a relaxing and enjoyable cocktail party for our residents to encourage social connection, wellbeing, and positive interaction within the home. Residents had the opportunity to sip on a variety of colourful mocktails and cocktails while chatting amongst friends in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The event created a wonderful sense of togetherness, with lots of laughter, conversation, and shared memories throughout the afternoon. Residents enjoyed spending quality time with one another, listening to music, and taking part in a calm social setting that promoted confidence and emotional wellbeing.
It was lovely to see residents engaging so positively, building friendships, and simply taking time to unwind and enjoy themselves. The cocktail party was a great success and highlighted the importance of social activities in supporting mental health and happiness.

Friary Care has been celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, and this year's initiative of 'Action'!

We here at Friary Care consider the mental wellbeing of our residents and staff to be of the utmost importance. That's why Friary Care takes pride in celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week, and also this year's initiative of 'Action' which focuses on the idea that practical steps, even small ones, can help us feel hopeful, manage daily pressures better, and prevent mental health crises.

We've hosted a range of activities that have allowed residents and staff to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. We've had some amazing walks in the fresh clean air - a great chance to talk but also an opportunity to blow the cobwebs of the mind away. We've given goodie bags to members of staff to show our appreciation and to promote good mental health. We've had some lovely chats over coffee and cake, but we've also had two great music acts this week, the musical talents of Tina J, and the absolutely fantastic Danny Jukebox providing us some swing and Frank Sinatra classics!

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we encourage staff, residents, family, friends, and everyone else to raise awareness for supporting good mental wellbeing, to remind others that need it that they are not alone, and also to fight the stigma surrounding mental health.

All in all, mental wellbeing has such a massive role in all of our lives, where everyone should always be free to talk about their feelings without fear of being stigmatised. Friary Care during this Mental Health Awareness Week, but also everyday, would like to remind you all that "it's OK to talk".
